When Gao Shaoyi, the commander-in-chief, gets married, the people below him must feel a little festive.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, the soldiers have been paid according to their rank. According to your instructions, it is one month's salary."
Wang Laosi's drinking capacity was relatively strong, and he drank twice as much wine as Gao Shaoyi, but at this moment he was still able to reply respectfully outside the door.
"The same goes for our family. They are very tired today. Everyone has five silver coins."
These servants in the Houfu did not have such high wages, so Gao Shaoyi also gave them rewards according to the standards of ordinary soldiers in the Suppression Army, so that everyone could feel happy and happy.
The aunt and cousin next to me were also secretly stunned after hearing this.
Normally, everyone has seen money before, but this is the first time I have seen such a method of rewarding money.
There are nearly 300,000 soldiers suppressing the captives, not to mention those who are officials. Even if they are all based on five silver coins, each person is worth 1.5 million silver coins. The expenses of the family here are actually much smaller.
"A while ago, I asked someone to get some jewelry made at Taihe Jinlou. My aunt and cousin have been busy all day, so don't dislike it."
The eldest sister asked the housekeeper to bring over two exquisite boxes. Inside were two sets of pure gold jewelry, which were worth thousands of silver coins.
"We, our own family, why are you making such a fuss? Didn't we all give gifts before?"
The betrothed princess said angrily that although these two sets of jewelry were not very valuable, at least Gao Shaoyi had not forgotten them.
"Auntie, just take it. It's all my sister thought of it. If it were me, a big boss, I guess my aunt would blame me in two days."
Gao Shaoyi quickly put the box into the hands of the maid of the betrothed princess. The princess could not hold these things in person.
The life of the betrothed prince was pretty good, but Zhou Zhipeng's family was not doing so well, so his cousin quickly took it over. If this set of headwear were sold, it would be able to fetch one thousand and a half.
One hundred silver coins can help the family live a good period of time.
"Since that's the case, your sister and I will take it. You can go back to your room and rest quickly. After you go in, I, an old man, have to go back and rest. Remember to get up early tomorrow. It's time to say goodbye.
Everyone, go and say goodbye."
The engaged princess is actually not in a hurry to go back, but entering the bridal chamber is a very critical item, so as an elder in the mansion, she has to watch Gao Shaoyi enter.
"It's getting late, what my aunt said was, come in quickly! My sister-in-law is sweet-natured, and I stayed with her to talk for a long time in the afternoon."
Entering the bridal chamber is a major event related to the heirs of the Gao family, so my sister also began to urge Gao Shaoyi.
It is not a good thing for the eldest sister to have a young mistress in the house. After all, she has to hand over the important matter of housekeeping. However, after an afternoon of conversation, the eldest sister also knows that this brother-in-law is not that strong-tempered and they can get along with each other in the future.
Gao Shaoyi giggled twice, and then returned to his room at the urging of his sister and cousin.
Because Gao Shaoyi was already married, he could not live in the original room. This room was the main room of the entire Hou Mansion.
After Gao Shaoyi entered, there were a lot of maids and Xi Niang in the house. Gao Shaoyi knew that these people were dowries from Prince Kang's palace. From now on, these people were all slaves born in Gao Shaoyi's family.
"Greetings to my uncle."
A bunch of people in the room knelt down loudly. These people turned out to be serving Princess Wenqing.
In the lead were two wet nurses, who also nursed the princess.
Behind them are eight maids, all of whom look like the best of a hundred.
After seeing the gift, Gao Shaoyi asked his four personal maids to present the reward, and these people all went out.
My eldest sister-in-law's family is rich, and they have heard about it for a long time. Today, everyone received a reward of five silver coins.
Gao Shaoyi rubbed his hands and saw that his wife was sitting on the bed.
The scarf was uncovered, and he appeared in front of Gao Shaoyi, who was a little more handsome than that day, but also a little shy.
"Qing'er..."
Gao Shaoyi called the princess by her nickname. According to the rules of this era, except for her husband and men who were direct blood relatives, no one else could call her by this name.
"Master..."
Women in this era generally called their husbands this way.
Gao Shaoyi looked at the shy Princess Wenqing and felt like he was floating.
"Slaves, please leave."
Several of Gao Shaoyi's maids have also gone out, and they are not needed at this time.
Although many ordinary people still use candles in their homes, the homes of the rich and powerful have already used electric lights. At this moment, they are also wrapped in a lot of red paper, so the whole house is red.
"Let's make arrangements..."
Some things don’t need to be taught, such as the bridal chamber...
Princess Wenqing nodded shyly, and the room immediately became dark.
Chicken root…
The first rooster crow in the capital came from not far away, and a new day began.
Gao Shaoyi, who has been a man for two generations, finally realized the benefits of being a man. He stayed idle most of the night and only rested when it was almost dawn.
The princess carefully put away the white cloth. A bright red flower on it represented that she had become a woman.
"Just sleep a little longer, what time is it now?"
Gao Shaoyi looked at the chiming clock next to him and saw that it was just past six o'clock.
"It's time to get up, sir, we have to go to the palace to thank you! There are also father and grandfather, several uncles..."
Hearing what Princess Wenqing said, Gao Shaoyi felt a headache. It was a good thing for him to get married. As a child of a nobleman, he had to go everywhere to express gratitude.
"ah…"
The princess let out a soft cry. She was really exhausted last night and it still hurts a little now when she wakes up.
"I'll dress you."
Gao Shaoyi took the princess's clothes from the side.
"How can this be done? Qing'er should be the one serving me."
In this era, the three obediences and four virtues were taught very well, and Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism also educated these girls to be very docile.
Looking all over the capital, there is not a single man serving girls.
"Those are other people's rules. Our rules are different from others."
Gao Shaoyi took the clothes very domineeringly and began to dress Princess Wenqing.
Of course, when putting on clothes, one must have a hand addiction, which made Princess Wenqing feel shy for a while...
In the end, there was really no choice but to drive Gao Shaoyi out, otherwise he wouldn't be able to finish wearing the clothes by eight o'clock.
